00:00The British Army says it will crack down on sexual abuse after a new report found soldiers in Kenya are still using sex workers, despite a ban put in place three years ago.
00:11The Army commissioned an inquiry last year following allegations that troops at a training base in Nanuki were still engaging in transactional sex.
00:21Soldiers have also been accused of rape.
00:23In 2022, the Army banned all sexual activity involving the abuse of power, including buying sex while abroad.
00:32But the report published last week found that soldiers were still using sex workers at a low to moderate level.
00:40In June, a British soldier was sent home after being accused of raping a woman in Nanuki.
00:46In 2012, another woman, Agnes Wenjiru, was killed after being seen leaving a bar with British soldiers.
00:54An inquest in 2019 concluded that she was murdered by the troops, although no one has been charged.
01:01The Army says it's implementing new measures to stop sexual abuse, including making it easier to discharge soldiers who engage in transactional sex,
01:10and introducing a new training program on the issue.
